Hitachi signs-off ModelSim simulator
The ModelSim hardware description language (HDL) simulator from Mentor Graphics subsidiary Model Technology has received Verilog sign-off from Hitachi
Model Technology's ModelSim Hardware Description Language (HDL) simulator has received Verilog sign-off from Hitachi. Hitachi customers can now use both ModelSim VHDL and Verilog as sign-off simulators. Using ModelSim's mixed-language simulation capability, Hitachi customers now only need a single simulator to support flows that include both VHDL and Verilog code.

Hitachi is focused on SoC designs for digital consumer and communication applications, including the video/audio, telecommunications, display, motor control and printer driver markets.
Hitachi requires a dynamic simulation tool that can handle the complex and multiple language demands of a multi-million-gate ASIC design.
ModelSim, with its dual language capabilities and its increased performance in register transfer level (RTL) and gate-level simulation, allows designers that use Hitachi's semiconductor technology to focus on more critical areas of the design process, instead of worrying about language constraints and simulation run times.
"ModelSim is equally capable in either a VHDL or Verilog programming environment.
This was a determining factor in selecting ModelSim for our Verilog needs", said Yoshio Okamura, department manager, Design Technology Development Department, Design Technology Development Division, Semiconductor and Integrated Circuits, Hitachi.
"Model Technology has continued to increase the capacity and performance of its ModelSim tool, making the offering suitable for our digital consumer and communication applications, many of which include several deep-submicron blocks that have been traditionally difficult to simulate".
